The whole point of my post is that you get to pick and choose what parts this magical software automates for you. Based on your response, it's an imagination issue for you.
The only viewpoint I really agree with in this article is the "use it or lose it" mentality. Skills are developed and maintained by practicing them, but if all the author really wants to do is write code, then LLMs are literally an answer to their prayers!
You can enable virtually free test driven development. Write the test names down and let the LLM implement them for you. You save 50% of your time and you get to go to town on implementation and or optimizations.
You can have the LLM take the non-tech-counterparts description of a bug and have it point you at precise lines of code to investigate rather than grepping around a codebase you might not know well.
You can onboard to new languages, frameworks, repositories extremely fast by having a partner (the LLM) explain implementation patterns and approaches on demand! You don't even need to talk to another human being! Get your questions answered in seconds and start coding!
You can rapidly prototype. You can get immediate code reviews. You can rubber duck. You can visualize business/logic flows and code branching to better understand existing implementations. You can even have the LLM write an implementation plan for you then write the code yourself!
If you cant find a way to write more code with LLMs, its either an imagination or skill issue.
